“My greatest joy in teaching is to able to see students grow as learners, not because they find learning easy, but because they are able to wrestle with new knowledge, form connections, and build their own model of understanding. It is my hope that when students are imbued with this love for learning, they will be empowered to learn throughout their lives towards achieving their goals through self-mastery.”
